Studio representatives gathered yesterday at Société des arts technologiques [SAT], raising the alarm to Francois Legault’s government that Quebec’s VFX industry is under imminent threat from changes to the tax incentive.
Urgent action is needed, Prime Minister Legault. Postpone the change to the tax incentive and let us propose alternate solutions that will protect the future of the industry in Quebec and the 8,000 jobs at stake.
- - - - - - - - - -
Front commun pour l'avenir de notre industrie.
Aujourd'hui, nous nous sommes rassemblés à la Société des arts technologiques [SAT], pour donner le signal d'alarme au gouvernement de François Legault. Notre industrie, installée au Québec depuis plus de trois décennies, est en péril.
Coalition Avenir Québec, Culture et Communications Québec, Gouvernement du Québec, Mathieu Lacombe, Eric Girard & Monsieur le Premier Ministre, il est urgent d'agir! Nous vous demandons de repousser au 31 décembre la mise en vigueur des coupures au crédit d'impôt et d'ouvrir le dialogue avec nous pour trouver des solutions.
Pour l'avenir de la créativité numérique et les plus de 8 000 emplois qui sont créés par les studios VFX et d'animation.
We are calling on Prime Minister Legault to postpone the date of the CPSP change from May 31st to December 31st 2024.
The VFX industry in Québec is ready to work with the local government to develop a sustainable solution that will meet their needs while also safeguarding the 47 studios and thousands of artists in the region.
- - - - - - - - - -
Monsieur le Premier Ministre Legault, Coalition Avenir Québec, Culture et Communications Québec & Gouvernement du Québec notre demande est simple : repousser l’application de la modification au CSPC au 31 décembre 2024 afin de permettre aux 47 studios d’effets visuels et d’animation du Québec de retenir leurs clients et de développer avec vous des solutions novatrices et durables pour protéger notre industrie et nos talents.
The survival of the VFX industry in Québec is at risk because of cuts to tax incentives made by Prime Minister Legault’s government which come into effect May 31st.
We are calling on the government to rethink this plan and instead act in the interest of the 8,000 people in Quebec that make up the VFX and animation industries, and the millions of people throughout the province that rely on them to deliver the films and series they love while generating significant revenue for the Quebec economy.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Coalition Avenir Québec, Culture et Communications Québec & Gouvernement du Québec, nous vous demandons de repousser la date effective des changements au crédit d'impôt du 31 mai pour que nous puissions mettre en place nos propositions alternatives.
Cela permettra de préserver les milliards de revenus que l'industrie apporte dans la province, et surtout les 8 000 travailleurs qui ont transformé le Québec en pôle mondial de VFX.
We'd like to say a huge congratulation to the talented team at Outpost who worked on The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes! 👏

The VFX and animation studios of Québec bring life to the world's biggest cinema and television productions. Recently announced cuts to tax incentives in Quebec have left the region’s vibrant VFX and animation sectors under threat.
We are standing with our team and our colleagues at other studios, and are ready with alternatives to this damaging move that will protect the 8,000 people who have made Québec a world leader in visual effects and animation.

Monsieur le Premier Ministre (), l’industrie est mobilisée et disposée à vous présenter des solutions alternatives qui permettront de conserver notre positionnement de pôle mondial, nos studios, et, surtout, nos 8000 artistes qui travaillent avec nous pour un Québec plus créatif et plus innovant.
The Quebec government has announced a drastic reduction to the tax credit applied to VFX and Animation, putting Quebec's position as a VFX region of excellence under threat.
